The Top Hat Staff of 1955 has
made the startling discovery that
everyone of us is leading a double
life, as a student, and as a citizen.
The life of a student isn't always
easy. Maybe your homework didn't
get done because you could never
resist a basketball game and later
you had to give up a dance be-
cause that theme assigned a week
ago was due the next day. You
just can't win!

As a citizen there are even more
things to do. Uppermost, possibly,
are jobs which are many and var-
ied. All these things go together to
make a happy life and we hope a
good book.

Though Mr. Concialdi's Mechanical Drawing Class looks like fun, there is a lot of hard
work connected with it.

This is the stenography class. Here Miss Dorothy Jasper dic-
tates to Alice McKern, Darlene Dittrich, Sally Addlesberger,
Barbara Bathurst, Anne Konyu, Donna Corman, Diane Powell,
and Jean Helgeson.

All the students in the Senior High Art
Class seem to be engrossed in their work.
Even the scene outside is artistics.

Learning Useful Skills and Hobbies

The activities of the advanced sewing class range through cutting out patterns, pinning clothing together,
sewing on the machine, and final steps in finishing.

All the girls in the Foods class are very hard at work on their projects. Miss Marline teaches the
girls' class.

Mr. Fraser points out the operation of one
of the machines in the £Kop. Joe Byers is
busy on his project.

Hammond - To

Rome - To Spain

Of course this scene is familiar. These Latin
students, under Mr. Ruff's watchful eye, are
taking a test. We all remember Mr. Ruff's
exam shoes.

With all those smiles on the students' faces. Miss Andrade must have told an amus-
ing story in Spanish.

While Mrs. Byers explains some phases of government, Ernie Malatinka has definitely found
something else interesting in the back of the room.

Here is a group of student-citizens in Morton's first Economics class.
Economics prepares these seniors for economic safety in the world of
tomorrow. Mrs. Byers gives help to Dick Kessler.

Mortonites As Student Citizens

All the students in Mr. Schoenbohm's Geography class are anxious to answer the
question that was just put to them.

Shown here is the boys' Physical Education class going through their paces. Each student takes
a turn as leader of the exercises.

That Exercise Does Look Like Fun

cage in front of the office. Here admiring Willie are
Veidre Sitnick, Nancy Shutts, and Liz McKenny.

Look at the crowd of boosters at the Homecoming bonfire. Here the cheerleaders are leading in a
cheer.

Pictured here is part of the Junior Class

At Christmas time, the Theater Guild, Choir and Art Club put on a very spiritual play called

"The Christmas Angels."

Good Times for Everyone

The criminal is about to make his escape! Can the police stop him? If you saw the fall play,
"Stop Thief," you know the answer.

looks like everyone is having fun! This was taken before dinner at the Semi-formal held at
Lake Hills Country Club.

A Night To Remember

Same place, same occasion — dancing after dining. What a fine group of dancers.

Shown here are the boys receiving their awards at the annual athletic banquet. In line for congratu-
lations from Mr. Georgas are Dick Kessler, ''most valuable player" in basketball. Next to Dick is
Jerry Kantor, football co-captain and basketball captain; Russell Gearman, track team captain and
most valuable trackman; John Anderson, football co-captain; Jerry Lambert, most valuable football
player; and Pat Gaughan, captain for cross-country.

Morton Athletes Get Their Awards

The men who attended Morton's all sports banquet look like they really enjoyed their meal. The men
are members of the Morton boosters.

Bob Weis works at his father's filling station where he
puts in many extra hours.

Juanita Cunningham puts in time on her job at a local
grocery store.

Donna Struhs earns her spending money baby-sitting. Here
she reads a bedtime story to the five Hiduke children with
whom she sits.

Jobs

Part of

Being A Citizen

If you have ever gone into the A
& P, then these boys should be
familiar. Bob Artim, Harry Miles,
David Wimmer, and Jim Foraker
are the boys who work in stock
and carry your packages to your
car.

Physics and Chemistry classes, under the direction of Mr. Graydon Ley, arrive at Pullman
Standard Car Manufacturing Company's Research and Development Division for a tour and
demonstration of facilities.

Not All

Our Time

Is Spent In

With a look of determination to win on their
faces, the Morton football team leaves to board
the bus that will take them to the Benton Harbor
football game.

The Spanish Club this year at Morton has really been active. This picture was taken
during their dinner at which a Spanish menu was served.

School ... But A Good Part Is

When our athletes aren't out practicing football, running track or cross country, or shooting bas-
kets, you'JI find them hard at work (?) in the athletes' study hall.

Pictured here are the students that are responsible for the great service in our cafeteria.

Visitors Enjoy Morton

This is a group of Morton visitors during BLIE Day. They were taken on a tour of the

school and given a delicious lunch.

Here is the finished product. Everyone has
to admit that the play was a success and
what acting! Surely we must have some
John Barrymores and Helen Hayes in our
midst.

Activities of The Class of '54

Morton's first graduating class, the class of '54, received their diplomas in impressive
ceremony last June.

Here are the oil paintings given to the school by the Senior Class of 1954.

The first class gift ever presented to our school was the privilege of the class of '54. Their
choice was the two fine original oil paintings picture above which are now to be seen
hanging in the library and room 208.

Tom Anderson, editor, and Barbara Bathurst,
assistant editor, go over final plans for this
year's Top Hat.

TOP HAT
STAFF

The Annual staff of '55 has worked very hard on the
layout of the Top Hat, advertising sales, annual sales
campaign, making posters, checking incoming pictures
and designing the cover. Our hard-working editor cracks
the whip whenever necessary; but, bless our little hearts
it wasn't necessary. Mr. Wauro, the sponsor of the year-
book, has helped the staff whenever possible.

Despite all the hard work that was necessary, the staff
has enjoyed every minute of it. We are sure that this will
be one of the finest annuals that Morton has had or ever
will have.

BAND

The Morton High School Band, under the direction
of John Melton and Thomas Braeuer have brought
many high honors to Morton. To win these honors

tests. The band also does a fine job at the home foot-
ball games with their marching and twirling. Of

sions.

ifications he is inducted in an impressive ceremony in January.

CINEMA CLUB

One of the most outstanding service organiza-
tions is the Cinema Club sponsored by Mr. Gib-
son. The students in this club devote much time
and effort in providing and running the different
machines needed by the classes. Much skill is
needed to operate the complicated movie pro-
jectors, slide and filmstrip machines, and the
tape recorders. '•

corders, etc. for all the classes.

PHY-CHEM

CLUB

Most of the regular club meetings are
comprised of matters concerning club or-
organization committee plans, etc. Project
work is done on the first and third Tuesday
nights under the sponsorship of Mr. Gray-
don Ley. Movies pertaining to physics and
chemistry are shown often. Projects are be-
ing prepared for exhibition at the Science
Fair.

Who's behind the smoke screen? Mr. Ley has
accomplished what we would all like, a
smoke screen in the class room.

The pictured Art Club members are in the midst of
preparations for last Spring's annual dance, "Artists
and Models."

ART CLUB

Although officially recognized as an
Academic organization, the High School
Art Club, in its scope of activities, can be
considered more of a Service group as
it contributes its services to the art needs
of the school. Many hours after school,
and even Saturdays, are spent by the
members to prepare the stage scenery
necessary for an effective play. How-
ever, along with its service contributions,
the club also manages to visit art exhibi-
tions, commercial art studios and pro-
fessional art schools. Every year the club
sponsors an annual dance with a color-
ful theme and decorations. The club is
under the sponsorship of Mr. Anthony
Wauro.

BOOSTER CLUB

Booster Club has been called the back-
bone of our school spirit. The club, largest
in the school, is divided into committees,
each formed to take care of a certain ac-
tivity. This year's big accomplishment was
the formation of a card section. With the
guidance of our sponsors, Mrs. Jankovich
and Mr. Harper, this card section was a
huge success. The first time it was presented
was at the Homecoming Game. Morton has
the honor of being the second high school
in Indiana to have a card section. Many
students possibly do not appreciate our pep
sessions. A lot of time and work was put
into them. Let's all boost our Booster Club
to boost the school.

Wasn't the pep session for Homecoming a riot? Remember on
the trip around the world, we discovered how many followers and
boosters the Morton Governors really had. Here are the cowgals
Liz McKenny, Joyce Baldwin and Lyla Behling discussing the Gov-

CHEERLEADERS

The Varsity cheerleaders, Donna Corman,
Leah Rae Hyslop, Pat Mack, and Valerie
Harle are each wearing a corsage that was
the start of a new tradition at Morton.

The Morton cheerleaders, who are chosen in the Spring by a
committee of faculty and students, practice cheers and motions
for the following semester. The duties of the cheerleaders are to
work up motions to new cheers, keep the school spirit up during
a game, and to help the B-team and freshman cheerleaders. All
of this year's varsity squad will graduate in June. All of Morton's
cheerleaders seem to have undying energy and school spirit.

The monitors, headed by Mr. Luketic, are the "peace-keepers"
of M. H. S. There are seven crews of monitors, each serving one
hour. One dependable person is selected from each crew of
eleven monitors to serve as lieutenant. It is the lieutenant's job to
keep an accurate attendance chart of his monitors. This organiza-
tion has been useful in keeping our halls very orderly.

Marge Kerrick, one of the monitors, checks the pass
of Jane Zimmerman.

ORCHESTRA

The orchestra is always hard at work on musical
numbers to be presented at the Morton concerts. This
year, they again had their formal concert. The orches-
tra practices several days a week early in the morn-
ing.

CHOIR

We must admit that Miss Barbara Miller has really
done a wonderful job with our choir. The choir pre-
sented an auditorium program of popular songs. Even
though the choir is small, it is really something to be
proud of.

The choir also sang at last year's graduation and
they are always a part of our Christmas play.

common life those ideals of personal and social living to
which we are committed by our faith as Christians. Their
new constitution includes a plan to execute an annual serv-
ice project, which this year is the making of stuffed animals
to be given to orphans.

Hl-Y

At their meetings, the boys in Hi-Y discuss various pos-
sible school activities and appoint committees to plan for

PATROL GIRLS

Have you ever walked into school
in the morning with your hat on, or
without an admit? Who is the first one
you will meet? Of course, you can't
get by the patrol girls. What has hap-
pened when you skipped a stair or
ran down the hall? The patrol girls
perform a fine service to the school.
The morning lieutenant is Valerie
Hale and the afternoon lieutenant is
Barbara Bedene. It is the duty of the
lieutenants to check the patrol and
make sure all the girls are on duty.

FUTURE NURSES

In preparing for their future lives as citizens, many
of the junior and senior girls participated in the newly
formed Future Nurses organization where they learned
about the different duties of nurses and the different
schools of nursing. Miss Gibson, our school nurse and
club sponsor, has taken the girls on some very inter-
esting field trips to Wesley Memorial and St. Margaret
Hospitals.

THEATER GUILD

In order to be a Theater Guild member, a person
must first work on the production staff of a play. Each
year the Theater Guild puts on a three-act Fall play
and a Christmas play. The remainder of the time is
spent at meetings learning stage work, make-up, and
some history of the theater. Miss May Virden is direc-
tor of the Theater Guild.

LIBRARY

STAFF

We here at Morton are proud of our well-organized library.
The Library staff and Miss Allman have worked hard to keep the
library equipment in good condition and in the correct places so
that it may be readily available for our use. A large number of
magazines are kept on file for five years. After that time useful
articles and pictures are clipped from them and filed away. Stu-
dents and teachers can always be assured of prompt and cour-
teous assistance from our student librarians, one of whom is
present in the library every period of the day.

VARSITY FOOTBALL

Morton, in only her second season as a high school, sur-
prised the local sports world by finishing with a fine 5-5 record
against some highly rated competition. Though many times
outweighed or hampered by injuries, the Governors always
came back fighting. Our touchdown twins, Mike Ventrella and
Jerry Lambert, running behind a solid wall of interference,
provided the fans with plenty of action and thrills in a full
ten game schedule of hard, rugged football.

After being blanked by an experienced Clark squad 13-0 in
their debut, the Governors came smashing back to subdue
Hammond Tech by a 7-0 count. Having gained confidence, the
Morton gridders went on to pound Thornton Fractional 13-0.
Morton then ran up against top-seeded Benton Harbor of
Michigan and finished on the short end of a 26-8 verdict after
a nip-and-tuck battle. Whiting, Morton's next opponent and
this year's mythical state champs, managed to score thirteen
points in the first half and hang on the rest of the game. The
Governors out-rushed them, gained more first downs and
generally out-played them but, in vain. Thirsting for revenge,
the Red-and-Gray satisfied their lust by running roughshod
over hapless Crown Point 27-6 on a water-logged field. In
their next contest, highly rated East Chicago Roosevelt was
given her closest shave of the season as Morton dropped a
tough 19-0 decision. Rated as underdogs against their arch-
rival Bishop Noll, our boys displayed a fine show of fighting
spirit by upsetting the Warriors 13-6 in a grueling tussle on a
weather-beaten field. Morton then coasted to an easy victory
by pasting Edison of East Gary 20-0. The Governors completed
the rout by rolling up a towering 431 yards to the Eagle's
uny 48. Unfortunately in the season finale, Morton was unable
to protect a seven point lead as Hammond High capitalized
on a Governor fumble in the final minutes, and scored with

29 seconds remaining for a 13-7 victory.

Seniors Jerry Kantor and John Anderson were elected as
this year's co-captains, with Jerry Lambert selected as most
valuable by his teammates.

Morton rooters can expect 1 1 of her 22 lettermen to return
next year to face an even tougher schedule. Win or lose, the
boys can be counted on to give their all.

Just an example of the fighting spirit of our
football team; Gordon Paquin was injured dur-
ing the game with Tech. Pictured here putting
Gordon into the ambulance are Jack Georgas,
assistant coach and Virgil Huber.

Roosevelt's Dean Rucinski frantically seeks escape as the Mor-
ton gridders, led by Bobby Stryzinski, No. 23, close in for the
kill. Highly touted Roosevelt took this one 19-0 after a tough
scrap.

Jerry Lambert plunges for extra yardage in spite of his op-
ponent's attempt to hold him back. Mike Ventrella comes up
to lend aid.

We Wanted Action and Got It!

The Governor's touchdown twins in action! Morton's driving halfback, Mike Ventrella,
heads for greater glory as fullback, Jerry Lambert, bids to discourage any East Gary
defenders from interference. The Govenors took this one 20-0 while rolling up a towering
431 yards to East Gary's 48.

B-TEAM FOOTBALL

The Morton Freshman gridders finished in a
two-way tie with Hammond Tech for the City
Football Championship on the basis of an ex-
cellent 6-1-1 record. Headed by such backfield
aces as Benny Bethel and Kenny Ventrella, the
Governors smashed over such powerhouses as
Bishop Noll and East Chicago Washington on
their championship drive. This marks the second
straight year that Coach Jack Georgas' boys
have claimed the title.

VARSITY

BASKETBALL

The Morton Governors finished one game shy
of a .500 mark with a 10-11 record for the 1954-
55 season. Governor rooters can be proud in-
deed of the boys' fine showing against such area
power houses as Hammond High, Bishop Noll,
Chesterton, and East Chicago Roosevelt. Though
sometimes dogged and defeated, the Red-and-
Gray quint were always undaunted as plenty of
thrilling basketball was ever present.

After getting off to a poor start with losses to
Hammond Tech and Benton Harbor of Michigan,
the Morton offensive romped over St. Mary's
and Hobart by margins of 22 and 34 points re-
spectively. From then on Morton was constantly
battling to stay in the win column.

Richard Kessler, Morton's 5' 1 1 " pivot man, was
chosen most valuable by his teammates on the
basis of his average of 18.3 points per game,
while Jerry Kantor, 6'4" rebounder, was elected
squad captain. Both will be sore losses to next
year's chances. The Governors will lose four let-
termen this season with Kessler, Kantor, Jerry
Lambert and John Anderson leaving the fold.
Next year's effort will feature four returning
starters: Ted Hmielewski, Bob Stryzinski, Dave
Kralik, and Spencer Greer, and a fine crop of
sophomores headed by Don Wilson and Dave
Gasvoda coming up. One bit of advice for our
opponents, "BEWARE THE GOVERNORS."

B-TEAM BASKETBALL

Coach Jack Georgas' charges showed that they
had what it takes to win, though hampered by
the fact that two starters were called up for
varsity play. Don Wilson and Dave Gasvoda
filled in depth for the Governor varsity and left
the "B team" to salvage what they could. With
boys like Dick Hmielewski, Ron Balta, and Jack
Ward, though, the "B team" kept on plugging
and finished with a winning record. Hats off to
the boys.

FIGHTING THINLIES TO RETURN
The Morton Track Team, in its first year
of real varsity competition in the spring of
'54, succeeded in upholding the Governor
fighting spirit although composed entirely
of lower classmen. The squad was made
up of four juniors and nine sophomores,
all of whom will return this year to seek
revenge with a year's experience under
their belts. Against over-whelming odds, the
Governors' thinlies were able to snatch
victory in two of the eight meets. After
thumping arch-rival Bishop Noll by an 87-
-47 verdict, the Governors went on to add
the Hammond Clark Triangular Meet to
their credit in a stunning upset. Captain
Russ Gearman and Gordon Paquin both
fought their way through the sectionals
and into the regionals with Gearman lead-
ing the way in the 220 dash and Paquin
starring in the high jumps and broad jump.
Coach Howard Stout thinks future pros-
pects look bright indeed with a fine crop
of Frosh and Sophomores coming up. The
Frosh-Soph team finished second only to
Hammond High by slight margins in the
City Outdoor and Tri-City meets. Outstand-
ing Sophs like Don Wilson and Tony De-
Rosa running the mile and 440 respectively
chalked up points for both Frosh-Soph and
74 varsity squads.

It looks as if Jay Kimmel is standing on his head but
he is really pole-vaulting, and doing a good job of it,
too!

SENIORS

During the second week of October the Senior
Class officers, having been elected during the
preceding week, were presented to their class.
They were Allen Johnson, president; John Mc-
Donough, vice president; Barbara Bedene, sec-
retary; and Donna Corman, treasurer.

The class sponsors, who devoted much of their
time to help make Senior Class functions a suc-
cess, were Miss Jasper, Mrs. Jankovich, Mrs.
Greskovich, and Mr. Luketic.

Many social events were sponsored by the
Class of "55". A memorable Junior-Senior Prom
was given last May for the class of 1954. The
Senior Class helped to form tradition by publish-

ing an annual and leaving a gift to the school.

To raise money the Seniors sponsored several
soc hops following football games. On February
19, they presented Neptune's Gardens, a semi-
formal dinner-dance, at the Lake Hills Country
Club. The profits from these dances were used to
purchase a gift for the school.

The Class of 1955 was the first Senior class at
Morton to have Senior cords. A number of Sen-
iors visited Washington, D. C. during the Easter
Holidays.

Baccalaureate services were held on June 5.
Graduation took place on June 7 in the Morton
auditorium. Caps and gowns were steel blue.

It is a year that will be remembered by all.

"Junior Follies," a variety show, in which many
members of the class participated. The Junior-
Senior Prom, the Juniors' biggest project of the
year was on May 21.

Y ou're saying goodbye to your high
school days — but you’re saying hello
to new, exciting days ahead. Congratu-
lations and welcome to the future !

In this future. Inland Steel’s opportun-
ities are yours . . . opportunities open to
high jchool grads.

If you have some mechanical training or
aptitude, there are careers open in many
fields: as machinists, welders, electricians,
patternmakers, pipefitters, boilermakers.
There are careers to follow in metallurgy
and chemistry. And there are opportun-
ities in the office and clerical fields. The
job of production— making the steel
needed to keep America strong — offers a
challenge to alert, young men.

You can have a “get ahead” future
through Inland’s training opportunities.
You can get apprentice or on-the-job
training to become more skilled in your
trade. \ ou also can get college training

and a college certificate through the Pur-
due-Inland Training Program, a program
where Inland sponsors you through this
course at Purdue Extension.

Inland has been in the busy Calumet
Region for more than a half-century. We’ll
be here in the future, too, because we’re
a basic industry, making a product used
by everyone, including the housewife
opening a can of peas and the G.I. firing
an artillery shell.

Inland Steel Company serves the nation
—and it can serve you, too, in the exciting
days ahead.
